The Judentor (Jew's Gate) is one of three surviving city gates in Coburg. The gate tower marked the western boundary of the city center and was part of the inner city wall. The city gate, probably built in the early 13th century, was first documented in 1321 as the Judentor (Jew's Gate). The gate tower was built on the floodplain of the Itz River. The name Judentor (Jew's Gate) refers to the Jewish community of Coburg, which was located west of the Judentor in the 14th and 15th centuries.

The former moated castle, with its almost square floor plan measuring approximately 70 by 60 meters, is built on 190 cm thick outer foundation and ground floor walls and consists of a total of five floors. Two round towers rise at the northern corners of the building, their conical roofs slightly projecting above the hipped roof of the main building, thus lending the property a defensive character.
